“Everybody’s trying to get their kicks, living in 37206.” So sings Elmo Buzz, the alter ego of Americana Music hero Todd Snider. Elmo Buzz and the Eastside Bulldogs are a band famous for only having played shows in the zip code lovingly known as East Nashville. Let’s first set the story straight – there really […]
Hillsboro Village is just downright one of the best spots in town. Whether it’s grabbing a great meal at Fido (a gourmet restaurant disguised as a coffee shop) or seeing a concert at the wonderfully intimate Belcourt Theatre, despite the tourist draw of Pancake Pantry, the Village is among the Snob’s favorite hip Nashville haunts. […]
A few weeks ago, the Snob gave you a list of the five best joints for NY-style pie in Nashville. He has since visited all five and is ready to give you his run-down on each. And the Snob is going to make it easy for you to decide where to eat, as it may […]
You know what I’m talking about. That little round “personal” pizza that is puffy because it has way too much cheese and dough. It’s light and fluffy and also undercooked because it wasn’t made in a conventional pizza oven. The cheese doesn’t cling to the oversized crust and it also has those light brown toast […]
So let the truth be known that Music City Mike doesn’t actually live in Nashville. Although he does work and spend a lot of his time there, the place where he mows the lawn on Saturday and puts his head on the pillow every night next to his Sweetie Pie is the great town of Franklin, […]

Music City Mike has always loved Atlanta. And living just 3 ½ hours away has made ATL a frequent destination for me to see bands whose tour is skipping Nashville (Radiohead, Springsteen and Nick Lowe so far this year), an occasional Braves game and also to take my lovely wife, Mrs. Sweetie Pie, for a getaway […]
Music City Mike loves living in Nashville where he’s got great historic live music venues like the Ryman and the Bluebird and hip record stores like Grimeys. But the Snob is also happy as the town on the banks of the Cumberland in the Buckle of the Bible Belt also has great NY-style pie. For starters, […]
Although the true source of this tale may be questionable, the great Mickey Mantle attributed it to the legendary Yankee catcher and Yoo-Hoo beverage spokesman, Yogi Berra, who was known for his whimsical quotes: “Whitey (Ford), Yog and I went to a pizza place after a game. The waitress wanted to know if we wanted […]
As a part of Music City Mike‘s recent trip to the Forecastle Festival with the I Phone Kid, the Snob got to conduct his first planned pizza-hunting exploration of another city. Louisville has always been one of my favorite places to visit and in the past I had only dined for pie at The Original […]
